Most Helpful Guy

Very few things are inevitable, including this. First, no one really understands what makes people self-aware so it strikes me as highly unlikely that we could find a way to program that into machines anytime soon. It seems even less likely that self-awareness would happen by accident. Second, if machines did become self-aware, why do we assume that they would want to destroy or enslave us? Those are emotional responses that presumably would not be programmed into the machines. If those tendencies were programmed in, the machines would not need self-awareness. That might even hinder their programming.
